Movie Review: Hannibal Rising

We rented a copy of Hannibal Rising from Four Star Haven last night. Taking advantage of a night when it was raining cats and dogs outside, we settled in to a round of Texas Hold 'em Poker and a few bottles of beer before starting the movie. This movie is the prequel to the famous Silence of the Lambs. You all have watched how he did it in Silence of the Lambs, now you know why he did it. The story started out a little slow with the story build up. The overall horror level was unexpectedly sub-par. Although it was an unrated version, the movie wasn't that scary afterall. The storyline was clear enough for viewers to follow, which is always good because you don't wanna have unanswered questions lingering in your mind after you're done watching the movie. I don't remember exactly the details of Silence of the Lambs, but after seeing Hannibal Rising, I am much more interested to grab a copy of the movie made popular by Anthony Hopkin and see what happened next.
Overall I give Hannibal Rising a 3/5.
